LINCOLN. Neb., Auk. 13 (Special Tele
gmm. Secretary of State Junkln has rt -elded
that Rnphus JSVbl?. democrat, of
Omaha la entitled .0 have his name appear
on the people's Independent rarty ballot
aa a candidate for elector. He overruled
tha pretest fllnd by Vlrtor Rosewster, who
protested against Nehle going on the biiUot
because the populist party did not cast 1
per cent ef the vote. In the 9eond dis
trict. The polnta raised by Mr. Rosewster
were upheld by the attorney gmernl. tT
whom Mr. Junkia referred the caae. but
was overruled by the aecretary. By several
different waya of figuring Mr. Junkln ar
rived at the conclualon that the party
polled more than 1 per cent of the vote In
tha Second fllatrlct.
After discussing the vote rait at the
laat election Mr. Junkln ald In hla de
cision: If we subtract the number of votes cast
for R. J. Millard, democrat only, from tliose
caat ror tjeorge L Loomts, tusinn candi
date for Judge, we have 4J votes aa repre
senting the people'a independent pariy.
Should we use aa our baaia the vote caat
for It- J. Millard and J. L. Sundcan. the
fusion candidate, we have a difference of
lit votes. If we take the former aa our
baala we find that the people'a Independent
party caat a little In excess of 2 per cent
of the entire vote caat In the district.
Should we take the difference between
fund ran and Millard we find they cast
about one-half of 1 per cent. If we add
the difference between, the vote for Sun
dean and Millard and Loo mis and Millard
and divide H by two, which we consider
would be fair, it still leaves us 292 of a
difference.
Feeling It cur privilege to make every
effort poeslble to find out what the people's
Independent vote waa in thla district, we
flrd that In the poll hooka of the repub
lican party, which were made laat year
that In Sarpy and Washington counties
alone there were registered 2t members of
the people's Independent party. We are
unable to secure the poll of the peopl's
Independent voters In nouglas county, but
allowing Douglas county the raine ratio
aa the poll In Sarpy . and Washington
countlea, tt would give us something over
00 voters In Douglas county. Again, In
taking the returns aa made at the primary
election In 1807. I find there was polled
only sixteen people's Independent votes.
However, we wmild not consider the two
latter aa Very strong evidence.
After ' considering the above facts,
where It a pears that 1p figuring It by
the last election returns that two out of
the three methods adopted. aa above
stated, that the people's Independent party
did poll an ' excess of the required
123 votes In the district: again taking
Into consideration the returns on the poll
books we alao have an excess of the re
quired ,1 per cent ef votes cast.
DeDalea Betas; a Democrat.
Before an audience of t.000 at the
Epworth assembly last night Senator
Robert M. La - Follette expressed great
admiration and friendship for William
J. Bryan,, but Inalted that be him
self was' a ' republican. The fight
against the railroads to secure lower rates
and no discriminations, he said, had been
started back In the '70s by Wisconsin, Illi
nois, Iowa and Minnesota. These policies
were not the product of the minds of either
Bryan or Roosevelt, he said. A man In the
audience accused La , Follette of b-lng a
democrat, but he denied It. He spoke for
some time about the Aldrlch-Vreeland bill,
which he denounced as vicious. After he
had read the roll Call on this measure,
showing that Senator Burkett Voted for It
and Senator Brown against It, aomeone In
the audience asked, "What was the matter
with Burkett?"
" "You will have to decide that for your
self, my friend," was the reply. "I simply
give you the facts. You will have to draw
your own conclusions."

SUNRISE COURT IS POPULAR
Flan of Chief Donahue to Deal with
Drunks Commended.
PRAISED BY MANY KINDS OF MEH
talef Is Faeearaged la Hla Eater
prise aad Praoxtees fa Carry It
ta a gaeeeaafal Fral
tlaa. Chief of Police Donahue is receiving
msny encouraging words from men In all
walks of life on his proposed "sunrise
court" and he Is determined to Institute
sjeh a court In Omsha If possible. The
mstter was not brought to the stlen
tlon of the Board of Fire snd Police Com
missioners Monday night on sccount of the
light attendsnee, but at the next meeting
the chief expects to present It and hopes ta
get his new court established before the
Ak-Sar-Ben festival.
Last yesr 2,49 plain drunks were sr-
rested. and the chief says he will wsger
that ".000 of these were honest laboring
men who experienced bitter hardship by
reason of the arrest. Most of the arrests
for drunkenness are made on Saturday
night and during the early hours of Sun
dsy. following the paving off of the labor
ing men Saturday afternoon. Unless the
men srrested can give bond they must re
msin In jail all day Sunday, deprived of
their rest and families at home, and a f-pear
In police court Monday morning. Court
opens at o'clock, two hours after the
average laborer must be at work. As a
result many of them lose their positions.
Novel Remedy Proposed.
To remedy this condition Chief Donahue
proposes to keep a separate ledger for
those arrested for simple drunkenness or
sleeping on sidewalks, when no other of
fense Is committed. He says that no orime
Is committed by a man when he takes a
few drinks too many, unless he Injures
someone. When the officer making the ar
rest reports that the man arrested was
taken up simply for being drunk, the chief
proposes to hold him only until he haa
sobered up enough to tell who he Is and
where he lives and then to release him and
send him home upon his signing a waiver
promising not to get drunk again. By this
way the man can spend his Sunday with
his fsmily and rest up and be In shape
to work on Monday.
"I fall to aee how any man can blame
the poor laborer who works hsrd from
morning until night all week long for go
ing Into a saloon on Saturday night and
taking a drink and visiting with his
friends," says the chief, "He has not the
time or opportunity to mingle with his
friends during the week and Saturday night
la the enly time he can visit with them.
Possibly he takes two or three drinks too
many and sits down on a doorstep and
goes to sleep until the officer nabs him
and takes him to Jail.
Hardship aa Family.
"If he can not give bond to appear In
court Monday morning, and very few can,
he must Isy In Jail all day Sunday. This
not only works a hardship to himself, but
to his family and to his employer as well.
His wife and children at home alone worry
about the husband and father and when
Monday morning arrives the contractor
finds he is short one or two men. The em
ployer Is handicapped and If a rush of
work la on a serious loss results, unless
another man can be secured to take the
place of the one In jail. In that event the
roan arrested simply for taking an extra
glass of beer .loses his Job and In many
cases sours on society and becomes an
anarchist. He Is out of work, his revenue
ceases, his family suffers from hunger,
and much' wrong and hardship results.
This can all be remedied by allowing the
man arrested for being drunk to go on his
own recognlzsnce after signing the waiver
not to get drunk again, and I think that It
would be found that the great majority
will keep their word. This waiver proposl
tlon would not apply to the hobo and
habitual saloon hanger on, but the officers
can tell an honest laboring man from a
hobo any time."
Met la t'osnlr Jail.
The chief believes thst much more good
csn be done through kindness than through
punishment and deprecates the jail sen
tences which under the present system
must be given young boys and others ar
rested for being drunk when they csn not
pay yhe 35 or 310 fine assessed. He recalls
the murder of Nels Lausten, the Cuming
street saloon keeper. In the fall of 18M.
Each of the four boys who commited the
crime. O'Heaxn. Warren, Nelson and
Angus, told the chief that they were
strangers to one snot her until they met
In the county jaH. They were sentenced
to Jail for thirty days for being drunk
and while there planned to murder and rob
the Cuming street saloon keeper. Warren
was sentenced to sixteen years In the
stste penitentiary and the other three boys
were sent up for life.

wss chairman of the Scott county Allison
club through the post-prlmsry campaign
thla summer, today came out In a strong
statement In favor of the Iowa republicans
uniting In the endorsement of Governor
Cummins as the successor of Senator AI1I
srtn. "I believe that there Is a general feeling
throughout the atate that this Is the oppor
tunity for the fsctions to harmonise," said
Mr. Lane. "I believe that an understand
ing for the election of Governor Cummins
by the legislature would meet the hearty
approval of by far the larger part of the
republicans of the state."
DE8 MOINES, August 13. Governor
Cummins this evening Usued a statement
upon the matter of the succession to the
late I'nlted States Senator William B. Al
lison, making clear his sttltude. He said:
"The time haa come when 1 may with
propriety put to rest some of the rumors
which are current In the state.
"It has been ststed that I will shortly
call a conference or caucus of progressive
republicans to consider the subject and to
determine a policy to be pursued. I do not
expect tu bring sny such conference to
gether. "Senator Allison's death haa created cer
tain questions of great Importance which
I must decide, not as a candidate for of
fice, but as govemoa of the state.
"I want to decide these questions justly
and wisely, and I want all the help I can r
get, whether from friends or from ene
mies." "I have received many letters of advice,
and I hope to receive many more. I have
talked with many persons, some of whom
have been friendly and some of whom have
been unfriendly, and I expect to talk with
many more.
"I cordially Invite help In tne aolution of
the problem before us. whether from poll
Ical supporters or political1 opponents; but
when all la said that Is to be ssid, and
.when the time comes to act, the decision
will be my own, and I will take the whole
responsibility for It.
"The matters to be decided have become
a part of my duty as governor, and In
performllng that duty my first concern will
be to promote the cause of good govern
ment and the weTTare of all the people,
and my second concern will be to serve the
best I can the Interests of the political
party of which I am a member."
ONE HEIR TOO OLD TO WAIT
Protestor ta Hill Will Qaestloas the
Capacity af the
Testator.
The probating of the will of the late Lew
W. Hill at the request of three of the
heirs has teen postponed until September
IS. Jamea H. Hill, a brother of the de
ceased, and Shirley Wilson and George W.
Wilson, nephews, who are represented by
Isaac E. Congdon, asked for the postpone
ment ta give them an opportunity of filing
a protest. In their protest these heirs In
tend alleging that Mr. Hill was not at the
time of drawing the will entirely In contiol
of his faculties snd they object to the
provision for leaving tBls property In trust
for five years. James H. Hill of Sidney,
Neb., Is over 0 years of sge and he and
his joint protestors allege that It Is not
just to ask a man of such advanced age
to wait five years. The will Is so drawn
up that the property will be divided among
the heirs living at the time of its final dis
position, and this would deprive the heirs
and assigns of James H. Hill from realis
ing anything on his claim If he should die
In the meantime. If the will Is broken the
shares of the 3160,000 will be equal for all
the heirs, as ts provided In the will, but th.j
property will be divided immediately.
